0 to I. Why?
The steering wheel may be locked.•

right while turning the ignition key.

I to 0 and I
cannot remove the key. Why?
The shift lever should be moved to P on the automatic
transmission (CVT) model.
Why does the brake pedal pulsate slightly when applying the brakes? This can occur when the ABS activates, and does not indicate a problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never pump the brake pedal.
Why do the doors lock after I unlocked the doors using a remote transmitter? If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors relock automatically.
